The three towns of Wuhan each have their own riverside parks. There is haze every day, so I can't take beautiful photos o(╥﹏╥)o! It's still pretty nice at night, and the light show on the other side is more beautiful.

Next to Wuchang Riverside Park, this building is now called Big House Contemporary Art Center. It was originally an office building of a spinning mill in Wuchang.

There is also a tea art restaurant called Zangjiao, which is a very nice place judging from its decoration style. Of course, the prices listed on Dianping.com are also very nice!

After lunch, we came to Wuchang River Beach. To be honest, it was very hot, and the resting conditions for tourists were not as good as those of Hankou River Beach. We came too early, and the heat had not yet subsided. My mother and I were tired, and she lay down under a tree to rest for a while. I browsed my phone for a while, booking tickets and hotels for the rest of the trip. Yes, I booked while I was walking to prevent any changes in the middle.

Starting around 2 o'clock, we walked and rested on the Wuchang River Beach. I didn't feel many highlights and couldn't take many photos. I don't know if my way of visiting Wuchang River Beach is wrong.

By Rise from Fire |

At present, the Hankou River Beach, Wuchang River Beach, Hanyang River Beach and Hanjiang River Beach in Wuhan have been completed and opened to the public, with a total length of 26 kilometers and a total area of more than 2.9 million square meters, equivalent to 9 Zhongshan Parks. Compared with the beautiful and grand Hankou River Beach, the Wuchang River Beach has plain decoration and simple facilities.

By Star Kong 5 |

Wuhan River Beach, under the Second Bridge, very close to Hubu Lane

By Chu Yunfei QQ |

Wuchang River Beach and Hankou River Beach are across the river from each other, each with its own characteristics. The night view of the Yangtze River Bridge and the Han River Bridge at Wuchang River Beach is very beautiful.

By backup |

It's very comfortable to blow the wind here at night; I took the ferry

By Yu Da Gou |

Very good, I recommend you to go there if you have time.

By Heart on the journey |

Walk straight from Hubu Street and you will arrive at Jiangtan Park. Here you can see the night view of both sides of the Yangtze River and enjoy the night view of Wuhan. There is also the elegance of the Yangtze River Bridge.

By Small |

It was the hottest time when I went there. Apart from the heat, the scenery was beautiful.

By Li travels all over the world |

Compared with the beautiful and grand Hankou River Beach, Wuchang River Beach has plain decoration and simple facilities. From Xinsheng Road to Zhongshan Road, to Dacheng Road, and then to Ziyang Road, the 40,000 square meters of lush green belt brings a lot of vitality to the river in winter.

By DrZou |

The ferry from Hankou to Wuchang has a great view

By small bowl |

At the end of Hubu Lane Snack Street is the river beach, the best place to see the Yangtze River Bridge. You can sit by the river, feel the majesty of the Yangtze River, watch the cargo ships coming and going, and feel the growing strength of the motherland.

By China-TravelNote users |

Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is still very beautiful at night!

By Fat Fly's Journey |

Walking along the river beach, you will feel very happy and the scenery is very beautiful. You can visit the Yangtze River Bridge and take a boat to experience the Yangtze River.

By Silk Dew Flower Rain |

Below the Wuchang Bridge, a stream meanders by. Along the waterside, willow trees sway in the breeze. The stream flows to the pond downstream, where some tourists are fishing. The stream is about 800 meters long and is mainly used to divert water from the Yangtze River to build green lawns and ecological wetlands. It is reported that there were originally two low-lying areas on the river beach, which accumulated water for many years, forming a natural pond with a water area of 5,000 square meters. This renovation preserved these two natural wetlands, planted aquatic plants such as water lilies, lotus, and calamus to improve water quality. They are connected by plank roads, allowing people to experience the grandeur of the Yangtze River while feeling the charm of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.

By Yang Yang Yang |

The river beach is vast and wide, the scenery of the river is unobstructed, the bright lights and bustling streets on both sides of the river form a unique flavor of Wuhan. May the lights in our lives never go out, and the river of friendship flow for thousands of years.

By ck |

Wuchang River Beach, sightseeing along the Yangtze River, taking a cruise, and admiring the Yangtze River are all good places to go.

By Xiao Xin running around the world |

The view of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the other side of the river from the river beach is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to the river beach in the evening so that you can see the grandeur during the day and the brilliance at night.

By Love Underground Worker |

I met a cat here. When I called out to it, it really came to rub against me. I hope it is free and happy.

By Jenny |

Wuchang River Beach, you can take a ferry from Wuchang to Hankou, but once you enter Wuchang River Beach, you can't walk to the ferry terminal. Although it is not as prosperous and famous as Hankou River Beach, it is definitely practical. There are also aunties dancing in the square here, and citizens taking a leisurely stroll.

By ╯▂╰ |

The famous Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. As I said before, if you don't walk on the bridge, you will feel a little regretful, even if the weather is hot o(╥﹏╥)o

By The little monster that beats Ultraman |

It was my first time seeing the Yangtze River. Hello, Yangtze River! Even if I did nothing but just stared blankly at the riverside, I felt very happy.

By High speed jeep |

Wuchang River Beach can get close to the Yangtze River Bridge and witness the majestic momentum of the bridge. But the scenery of the river beach itself is ordinary, without too much decoration. Hankou on the opposite bank also has no special lighting decoration, and there is no night view. In comparison, the planning and design of Hankou's river beach park is much more complete.

By Dudu |

There is a wider road along the Yangtze River with many night market stalls on the roadside. It is nice to come here to feel the river breeze and watch the bright lights on the other side of the river.

By The Earth is Not Alone |

It seems to be about the same width as the Songhua River in Harbin, but the development of both banks is much better than that of Harbin.

By Thriving |

It is not as good as the Hankou Riverside Park on the other side of the Yangtze River. It is relatively simple, without many attractions, and is not as long as the Hankou Riverside Park.

By His Royal Highness Wang Jiuye |

Wuchang River Beach faces Hankou River Beach across the river, very close to the Yangtze River Bridge, and next to it is Wuhan Customs Wharf and Hubu Lane. The night view is very beautiful, and it is a good place to take a walk along the Yangtze River Bridge after dinner.

By £ Red Lycoris £ |

The night view is beautiful at night, but it is best not to go there in winter. It is really cold on the boat. I went there in November and my nose was running after just 10 minutes.

By Zachary |

I remember there were a lot of stalls on the river beach, and a lot of people were flying lanterns and stuff. Couples could go and hang out, but I didn't think there was much to do.

By green512 |

The river beach in Wuchang is more down-to-earth than that in Hankou. There are many people coming to the river beach at night to enjoy the cool air, dance, sing, swim, and play - all kinds of activities are colorful.

By Misty Ranger |

Coming out of Tanhualin, walking two streets, you will arrive at Wuhan River Beach. It is said that in autumn, the golden reeds here are rippling, and the scenery is absolutely amazing. Now it is spring, and it is foggy again. The Yangtze River Bridge and the ships below are hidden in the mist. As usual, there are not many tourists in this kind of place. It is all local grandpas and grandmas who come here for a walk, chatting, playing instruments and exercising. The green belt of the river beach is planted with cherry blossoms and various flowers, plants and trees, and there are several newly built office buildings next to it. There is a river in the city, which is the luck of this city. This city seems more spiritual.

By 2nd Cargo Xu Deliang |

It's a beautiful place with a lot of life atmosphere. I really envy Wuhan people for having such a place, which is not only a landmark building, but also a local landscape.

By Kevin |

Wuchang River Beach is really great. If you come to Wuhan for tourism, I especially recommend the Hanyang Gate section of Linjiang Avenue. The night view of Hankou River Beach and the lights of the Yangtze River Bridge are particularly beautiful at night~

By CantonVJ |

Wuchang River Beach is the best place to take photos of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is best photographed from the shore, but the elevator at the bridgehead under the bridge has been under maintenance and has never been opened...

By Casablanca |

Very good, the plank road along the river is well built, and there are many people taking a walk every evening.

By Chini's Light |

There are many people doing morning exercises along the way, and it is very comfortable to walk among them.

By 🎈Anne |

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is really long and the riverside is very beautiful. If you go to Wuhan, you must visit the Yangtze River Bridge!

By Guangdong's white-cut chicken on the run |

The view in the morning is quite nice, especially when the weather is good, the whole river surface can be seen.

The river beach on the Wuchang side is the river bank on the Wuchang side. There is no river embankment or anything like that. You can go down there and touch the Yangtze River water.

Usually there are quite a lot of people swimming here, and there is also a professional swimming team.

By sunset flower |

It is worth a walk. Although the elevator charges are high, the view is wide and you can see the Yellow Crane Tower, Guishan TV Tower, Qingchuan Pavilion, etc.

By 🎀Baby_Yingen🎀 |

Wuchang River Beach has a beautiful night view. It is also a good choice to enjoy the breeze here at night.

By Food Master |

Wuchang River Beach, April 30, 2016, Wuhan.

By Dream Traveler |

It is a famous place, worth visiting. Seeing the Yangtze River and the many boats on the river will make you feel happy. In the morning, the golden morning glow is scattered on the river. It is a beautiful scene that I will never forget.

By PACTY |

Generally, there is nothing worth seeing, not recommended.

By Short hair black girl |

At the Wuchang River Beach, quietly looking at the Yangtze River Bridge, listening to the sound of the river, being in a daze and letting go, this is what I want to do most during this trip to Wuhan! Although, my sister said that I was like a girl who was trapped in love and wanted to jump into the river, who cares! I want time to stand still at this moment. Recommend everyone to come!

By Lan Dasi |

Wuchang River Beach has a great view, and you can see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge

By A Little Star |

Wuchang River Beach is very short. It is recommended to walk from Tanhualin. We went there at night. It was raining, which was a different experience. I have to say that the night view of the Yangtze River Bridge is very beautiful, haha. The lights will probably be turned off after 10pm.

By Sister |

After passing through the other side of Tanhualin, you can see the majestic Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Wuhan Metro Line 2 is the first subway line to cross the Yangtze River, which is also of great significance. There are many people resting on the river beach, and some are swimming in the river. I admire it very much. The Yangtze River Bridge exists in elementary school textbooks like a history book, and the river beach is the place where you can see the Yangtze River Bridge in its entirety.

By Jasmine--L |

We took a round trip sightseeing boat for 30 yuan per person, and the boat to Hankou on the other side was cheaper than this, about 10 yuan per person. It feels really good to take a boat to cruise on the Yangtze River. It's relaxing and comfortable to watch the beautiful scenery and blow the breeze. It's worth recommending!

By oscar |

The Yangtze River Bridge is very beautiful under the setting sun. It is very pleasant to sit on the embankment and feel the breeze.

By Walking alone |

I ran along the Wuchang River Beach at night. The scenery on the other side was very nice, with the city’s neon lights flashing.

By The Great |

I've been there twice and watched the sunset once. The night view here is also beautiful.

By Take Xixi on a trip |

The river beach is really beautiful, with the cool breeze blowing across your face and river flowers floating up layer by layer at your feet. Just sitting there quietly is beautiful enough, and there is also the rich and colorful cultural life. I really envy the leisurely lifestyle of Wuhan people!

By NANA_LOVE_HK |

The lights on the Yangtze River Bridge are particularly beautiful at night, and they change colors, which is much more beautiful than during the day.

By Ivy Tomato |

The weekend trip to Wuhan to enjoy cherry blossoms is coming to an end. The train that left at noon only left us one morning, so we decided to go see the vast Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, but unexpectedly it was a beautiful farewell trip. Wandering in the park on the Wuchang River Beach, the spring is endless and the green fields are in a hurry. I unexpectedly discovered a cherry blossom path. Although it is small in scale and short in length, it is rare to be able to appreciate the tranquility alone. I like this world more than the cherry blossoms in Wuhan University the day before. The uninvited guest, the drizzle, adds a warm and atmospheric beauty to the river beach. Walk slowly. If you are tired, you may as well sit on the levee and watch the ingenuity of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Trains roar past, and cars come and go, as if playing a cheerful concerto for the vast Yangtze River.

By Walking plank |

It may not be that great, but I just like the Yangtze River Bridge. I like its structure and I almost fall in love with it. It’s a pity that I went there too late and didn’t go inside. Due to the schedule in the next few days, I couldn’t come here either, which is a great pity.

By Xiao Rong 2014 |

Go straight along Hubu Lane and you will reach Wuchang River Beach. It is a bit cold by the river, so it is recommended to wear more clothes. The ferry is not in operation at night, but you can take the ferry to Hankou River Beach and Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street during the day.

The bus stop at Wuchang River Beach doesn't go to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street, so I followed the navigation on my phone and walked a distance to take the bus and then transferred to Metro Line 2 and got off at Jianghan Road (Don't blame me if I remember it wrong, I followed the navigation, if I remember it correctly it was like this. You can also use the navigation on your phone to get there. It's very convenient.)

By Rookie King |

Today I took the ferry to the other side and happened to see the Wuchang River Beach, which has not been planned yet.

By Alasvey |

If you go there in winter, the wind is quite strong. If the weather is good, you can walk along the river.

By ·Fi!. |

But the Hankou River Beach is very large. With the cold wind from the river and the temperature dropping at night, walking along the entire beach will only leave you tired and cold.

By I need you in the crowd |

At first I thought the Yangtze River Bridge was far away from the Wuchang River Beach, but I didn’t expect to reach the Yangtze River Bridge as soon as I exited Hubu Lane and saw the river beach. It’s just that the weather was too foggy, so the photos turned out mediocre.

By brave heart |

There are not as many people as Hankou River Beach, and of course the scenery is not as good as the former, but you can see the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge

By Sinian Little Lich |

Although the river beach in Wuchang is not very wide, it is much worse than the river beach in Hankou. There is basically no construction and a very simple trail. But it is less crowded. If you just want to sit by the river and daydream, it is a good place to go. It is okay if you pass by, but there is no need to go there on purpose.

By North to |

I went to Wuhan in mid-February. I went on a night tour of Jianghan Road, took a ferry, and visited Wuchang River Beach with my Hunan friends. The river breeze was freezing, but fortunately the lights on both sides were on, so the night view was great. After getting off the ferry and arriving at the river beach, I saw the Yangtze River Bridge and Wuhan Guishan TV Tower lying across the Yangtze River, which was magnificent. Wuchang River Beach stretches from Xinsheng Road to Zhongshan Road, to Dacheng Road, and then to Ziyang Road. The 40,000 square meters of lush green belt brings a lot of vitality to the river surface in winter. "Shuttle scenery lights", "spinning wheel sculptures", and "Wuchang Ancient City Gate". "The grass is green and the trees are shady, the paths are winding, the river breeze brings coolness, and the lights of thousands of houses across the river are bright." Wuchang River Beach is all about viewing the scenery.

By FoodyHan Fudi |

Wuchang River Beach is much more modern than Hanyang River Beach. There are no old-fashioned buildings, but only high-rise buildings.

By Rice wine dumplings |

After eating snacks in Hubu Lane in the evening, I took a walk nearby and ended up here.



The night view is very beautiful. There are many young couples sitting by the river whispering, which is very sweet. Accompanied by the sound of the river water lapping against the shore and the soft lights, it is really a good place to talk about love.

By The irresistible white |

After walking straight along Simenkou Pedestrian Street and passing through the green forest, you will arrive at Wuchang River Beach. Compared with Hankou River Beach, Wuchang River Beach is more flat and has simpler facilities. There are many people fishing on the river bank.

By nf0001384 |

The day has its own beauty, and the night has its own splendor. Whenever you are lucky enough to pass by, I recommend you to take a look, sit by the river, think about life, and think about yourself.

By camel |

It's a beautiful place. We arrived here during the day and took a look at the bridge.

By Xiao Ming Love Travel |

It's quite beautiful to enjoy the breeze and look at the Yangtze River Bridge at night. Next to it is Hubu Lane, where you can also go for a midnight snack.

By Eric |

The Yangtze River Bridge is very majestic, watching the river flow slowly

By cinnabar |

The river beach on the Wuchang side is very ordinary. . . . The river beach on the Hankou side is more beautiful.

Even if you are close to the river, you can see that the water is very turbid. . .

It is quite suitable to walk to Hubu Lane to take a look and take a ferry to Jianghan Road or Qingchuan Pavilion. . .

By Ziyao Qianyi |

It's just a stunning night view, no need to go to the Yellow Crane Tower.

By icelogo |

Generally, tourists who come to Wuhan have to experience a ferry crossing the river. There is such a scene in Xu Zheng's movie "Lost on Journey". Although the rolling water of the Yangtze River is not as clear as before, if the weather is clear, it is also a good idea to take a ferry to experience a Yangtze River cruise. At Wuchang River Beach, you can also enjoy the sunset on the Yangtze River Bridge, which has a great view.

By Niuniu |

Wuchang River Beach is located under the Yangtze River Bridge. It is a good place for Wuhan people to cool off and enjoy the scenery. Under the bridge, you can see the TV tower from a distance, and you can also enjoy the night view of the bridge at night~~~

By Coffee Afternoon Tea |

Wuchang River Beach is very beautiful, divided into 4 sections: Wuchuan - Pinghu Gate, Yangtze River Bridge No. 1 - Datikou, Under the Second Bridge - Moon Bay, Tieji - Luojiagang. Each section has a different style, and the scenery becomes more beautiful as you go back. It is a good place for entertainment and leisure.
